Black Cohosh

for Menopausal Symptoms

Standardised black cohosh root extract (20–40mg twice daily) for hot flushes and menopausal symptoms.

How it works

Mechanism not fully established. May act on serotonin receptors and opioid pathways involved in temperature regulation rather than through oestrogen-like activity.

What to watch for

Not recommended for those with liver disease or hormone-sensitive cancers. Rare but serious liver reactions reported — discontinue if yellowing of skin or eyes occurs.
